WASHINGTON (TNND) — President Donald Trump’s granddaughter Kai shot a 13-over 83 on Thursday during the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) in The Annika.
This means she is in last place in the field with 108 players, according to ESPN.
“I was definitely more nervous than I expected, but I thought I hit a lot of great shots out there,” she said, according to the outlet. “I hit a lot of good shots just to the wrong spots.”
Some have been critical of Kai even being invited to the LPGA tournament, arguing that it was because her grandfather is president of the U.S.
One outlet that covers golf critiqued her performance and discussed the nepotism.
“Kai Trump got one of three special sponsor’s invitations to play in the Annika driven by Gainbridge at Pelican (hostess/sponsor/course),” the article states. “Would she have received the invitation if her paternal grandfather was not the president of the United States, and if she did not have more than 7 million followers on her various social-media platforms? No.”
Last year, Kai announced that she would be playing golf for the University of Miami, thanking her grandfather for allowing her to use his golf courses for practice.
“I would like to thank my Grandpa for giving me access to great courses and tremendous support,” she wrote in her announcement.
